Owning your own hardware is extremely inflexible, you have to over-scale and plan for peak demand and if you make a mistake with the type of hardware you are stuck with it. All Things Distributed.

I said something similar to the above, but with two important differences: I said hardware “threads,” not only hardware “cores” – it was about the amount of hardware parallelism available on a mainstream system. Figure 4 : How much concurrency does your program need in order to exploit given hardware?

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

My development collogues and I are starting a regular blog series, outlining the vast range of scalability improvements, allowing SQL Server 2016 to run across a wide array of hardware configurations, faster and better than previous releases of SQL Server.

Automatic soft-NUMA was enabled because SQL Server has detected hardware NUMA nodes with greater than 8 physical cores. Well the principle behind Auto Soft NUMA is that we want to try and get as close to 8 CPUs per node because traditionally 8 CPUs per NODE is a scalability threshold. And the node mapping has apparently gone crazy.
